The Impending Doom of Zombie Penguins is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lone Survivor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, disturbing lack of elderly people, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 18.525 billion Penguins live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Education are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Abandoned Zoo. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie Penguinsian economy, worth a remarkable 9,515 trillion Brains a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 513,642 Brains, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,790,616 per year while the poor average 4,880, a ratio of 981 to 1.

Citizens complain about a burning sensation after bathing, nations across the world are quick to praise Lone Survivor's good looks and intellectual prowess, fire stations and hospitals can't deploy emergency vehicles because badly parked cars block them in, and ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zombie Penguins's national animal is the Fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Aaaahhhh.

Zombie Penguins is ranked 27,589^th in the world and 20^th in The Bar on the corner of every region for Largest Black Market, with 95.2 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
